When such tragic events occur such as the recent terroristic attack with such an incredible and unexpected loss of life, we are reminded to be thankful for every minute we have and for the blessings that have been bestowed on us.

This is SUCH a great poem. Michael Mack is my favorite poet. i already used his "A small pain in my chest" for an English project last quarter, and now im using this poem for 2nd quarter.

This is a wonderful poem. I went on the internet to look for a poem ( for an assignment for school) and up came this poem. As soon as I read it, it made me think of all the things I take for granted. Such as my siblings, parents and even teachers. Thanks

Your poem was simple but VERY sweet and expressive. After the occurences of Sept. 11, I will take the GOOD advice you wrote in your poem. Excellent job! Keep writing! :-)

This poem is really sweet and heart warming. I think this poem explains how we should'nt take love, friends, people, life it self for granted, because life is to short, and sometimes it gets cut shorter.
